Allergy szn b*tchesssss!! In a dramatic turn of events, I am channeling my PA program rejections (4 out, 4 to go) into proactive energy working at at karaoke bar making significantly less money!!! Yay!!!! Who knew. Life has been this: applied for schools, left my BULLSH*T medical assistant job, was denied unemployment benefits, anddddd became a hostess ayeeeeee…

It’s been land of the lost, limbo narnia, unsure nation 2.0… BUT I do have a new addiction called “DoorDashing.” LOL. Literally it is saving my ass and paying my credit card minimums 10/10 recommend (Instacart can suck a d*ck). SO YEAH, here we are a month shy of me losing my parents insurance benefits for good and here I am sniffling as the leaves change, checking IDs and trying not to eat my weight in free chicken nuggets. It’s definitely spooky season bc I’m scared lol.

It’s been a trying time of accepting the present moment and trying my best to find peace WITHIN IT AHHH *practice what you preach.* So, ya know I’ve had time to process things that have happened while being 25 years young. I’ve been able to walk my dog longer, catch up on tv, read a lil (like a tiny teeny bit), see my friends, manicure my man’s eyebrows, wash my hair more often etc. The silver lining here is time. Time doesn’t pay the bills but it is priceless. This period of my life is the much needed slow down I’ve been desperate for.

Moving forward I feel this: my right now moments lead into my tomorrow moments and everything can change at any moment. Things haven’t necessarily gone my way for a higher purpose, like annoying, but I get it. I mean I’ve been given the gift of time and sleep which is more than I’ve been able to have in awhile. I’m learning how to value myself in ways I didn’t recognize before. So friends, I raise my hard kombucha today for the good sake of tomorrow and what it will bring. I challenge you all to do the same!

Real Talk: hot yoga changes lives

Posted on by tjoroski

“There is a space between stimulus and response. It is within this space that we find our growth.” Tonight I went to Hot Vinyasa Flow and this was the note our teacher ended on. There is so much value in this statement and I appreciate how relatable it feels without seeming like such a heavy cliche.

She could’ve said “we gRoW fRoM oUr mIsTaKeS” or something but instead she leaned into the realness behind an idea that is truly so simple. Stimulus could be so many different things for us. Response can look and feel like many different things. Yoga has inspired me to think about things with intention. Why am I doing this? Why am I feeling this? Why am I thinking about this? It’s 100% without a doubt a type of therapy session that your body & mind benefit from

In yoga we create intentions. Usually the teacher asks us to set our own intention for the practice but sometimes they set a collective intention for the whole class. Tonight’s intention was to “create space.” Space in our bodies and in our mind’s. Space for new growth and thought. Creating space can be really f*cking hard, especially when it feels like there’s only room for things like: working, studying, babysitting, dog walking, or over thinking etc…

Going to a place that takes me out of my current stressful environment literally brings me back to Earth and centers me. It might sound silly, but in a world that is constantly moving, going to a place where you’re grounded in one place is a lifesaver. I share this post with you all because I believe we could all benefit from a little yoga.

There’s nothing like stretching & sweating out our fears, worries, doubts, tequila, sativa, sadness or bad energy. If you’re reading this, then today I encourage you to find a way to make space. Space in your body for better air and energy to find it’s way in. Space in your mind to allow ease & peace to take over. Space in your routine to lay on the floor for a minute or cry a little bit. Just space–because it’s in this space that we find our growth.
